Hello from the Lowdon Track and Field Complex. It is amazing to think that I have already been here for six years. Many times, people ask me what drove me to TCU and, obviously, it is impossible to answer that question with just one answer, but I can tell you that the history TCU has in track and field comes to mind. Looking back over TCUʼs track history brings a smile to my face. There have been seven individual National Champions, seven relay NCAA Champions and 237 All-Americans. The Flyinʼ Frogs are also home to the fastest 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams in NCAA history. TCU continues to produce Olympians and world-class track and field athletes. In the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, TCU had four athletes compete: Michael Frater, Kim Collins, Lewis Banda and Virgil Hodge. This past summer, current senior Jessica Young represented the United States at the IAAF World Championships, while Hodge, Collins and Frater also competed in Germany. With that success in hand, I am honored to be the head coach at such a prestigious university and look forward to adding to that success. I feel we have enriched our history over the last six years. During that time, we have won 77 Mountain West Conference Championships, had 62 All-Americans and been tabbed the fastest sprint program in the nation in the Track and Field News Annual Relay Rankings. There have been so many people who have contributed to our success and been part of some special moments at this track. We appreciate all you have done and hope that you will continue to support our program. Another year is upon us and more championship opportunities are ahead of us. We look forward to seeing all of you at our two home meets this season.
